Klefbom: 7 x $4.167 ($29.17M)

Despite doing the intelligent thing and giving Brodie a bridge deal, and despite Brodie becoming a top player, the Flames will still pay him less for the 7 years than Edmonton will pay Klefbom. And of course, at this point, we have no idea what Klefbom will become.

Do you know what the impact is as a % of the Salary Cap between those two deals?
